Hey Teri, I got I think 4 dotty fabrics yesterday. Can we have some clarification on the dotties? Can they be fun dots, like larger dots with smiley faces, or dots that are heart shaped, or must they be plain ol' dots? -- L. P. Skeen, Summerfield NC Organized people are just too dang lazy to...

I don't even know where it came from in the world, but it was a special treat - 2 southwestern pieces and one happy sunflowers. Thanks to whomever was so thoughtful! Debra in Idaho

I got a surprise, belated birthday squishy! It was sent anonymously, but I have my suspicions grin thanks to the postmark. It was a very nice surprise in my mailbox and I do appreciate it. The color was exactly right. Thanks much, Happy Stitching, Janet of Gar

It took over 4 hours to repair all the damage, she had a new elbow joint replacement and the arm fixed, came thru it ok, Her sister hadn't seen her yet, she was still in recovery, The other arm had 3 cracks in it, but the Dr. said it was healing already, they didn't cast it, just a sling, she is to...

Whatever happened to Mr. Bear? I use to love reading about Mr. Bears adventures. It's been years since I've seen a post. Does anyone know where Mr. Bear went? Susan

Yes, I am deliberately repeating myself! When you do foundation piecing, what foundation do you use and why do you like it? I have used fun-dation, both leaving it in and taking it out. For leaving in, it works pretty well, although it does add a bit of stiffness (body?) to the quilt - I have...

I just got word via an instant message that my 18 y/o stepdaughter gave birth to a little girl this morning. This brings the grandbaby total to 4 now. I wish I could give the details but I just can't bring myself to talk about it. The whole situation with those girls is just way too painful...

Thought I'd give you all a heads up. I read in our local newspaper that Hancock Fabric has decided to close 50 stores in 42 states. They will be having going out of business sales sometime this summer I suspect. I doubt if they will re-open the stores destroyed by the hurricanes and I will now...

Just heard from my SS - he's coming home from Iraq!!!!!!! February 11th AFAIKN. DH will drive down to see him and stay there a few days and then I think they will head to Florida for a few days of bonding. I will just be returning from LasVegas that day so I hope to see my DH before he...

Or not. I'm working on a piece for a class, and I need to attach some yarns to the fabric. I did some of this already, with hairy yarn, and I couched it down with silk thread (a very thoughtful gift from someone), and boy, was that a pain! Between the fine (read: almost invisible) thread and the...

I have a challenge for you - to create a new abbreviation that is the equivalent of SEX but for books. BEX seems lacking. Shana

DH & I spent this afternoon with our kids and grandkids to celebrate our birthdays. DD gave me a beautiful book called "Winter Lights" by Anna Grossnickle Hines. It is actually a children's picture book illustrated with gorgeous quilts. I hadn't seen the book before, and I am enjoying it. The same...

A friend was diagnosed with a brain tumour recently. Though the use of the website Supportcirlce.com, his friends and family have been able to keep up on his status and leave messages of support. After about two hours of playing with the messages page, I was able to send email to all who had...

Ya'll remember that I was really worried about my DSIL and her 2 daughters during the Katrina mess - well I just heard from the youngest niece who found my message on one of the boards - she reports they are all just fine. Yahoo! -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ "
